"Computer-assisted decision-making systems have the potential to improve care, reduce costs, and provide expertise in situations or settings where it might not immediately be available. Recent advances in computational methods that can harness the richness within the broad types of patient data available today make this a critical moment for these tools to make significant contributions toward improving clinical care and patient outcomes."
